“…The severity of depression among unwed young Korean pregnant women in shelter homes was higher than that among married pregnant women (Jin et al , 2007). Furthermore, unwed young Korean pregnant women in a social welfare center perceived less anxiety when their pregnancy was known by the family than those women whose pregnancy was unknown, and they also had a higher level of anxiety in the first trimester compared to the anxiety level in the second or third gestational trimester (Hwang, 2005). Care plans for young people in long-term care facilities often do not fit their needs in social engagement (Marshall and Baffour, 2011).…”

Purpose There is a dearth of research on unwed young pregnant Malaysian women and mothers’ coping strategy and resilience in the context of limited social support they received. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the prediction of mental health by coping, social support, and resilience among unwed young Malaysian pregnant women and mothers. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative data of two assessments from respondents aged 11 to 32 years during their stay in shelter homes have been analyzed. Findings The result from the longitudinal study found that the variability in mental health scores could be explained between 14 percent for depressive-behavioral symptoms and 36 percent for general health. The mental health scores from the first assessment were part of the regression equation with the highest standardized β scores. Cross-sectional, the variance in the three independent variable sets explained between 6 percent (general health) and 23 percent (cognitive depressive symptoms) of the variance in the various mental health scores with different variables of significant standardized β scores in the regression equation. The study also found there were no significant changes in social support, resilience and coping between the first and second assessments even if the respondents had been in the shelter homes for a period of time. Originality/value The study highlighted the issue of mental health among Malaysian unwed mothers during residential periods in shelter homes. As the subject of unwed mothers is considered taboo, their rights are often deprived or overlooked.

Abstract. This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting maternalfetal attachment behaviors among unmarried pregnant women. The research subjects were 105 unmarried pregnant women who visited 15 shelters for unmarried mothers around the country. The data were collected from January to February 2015 through questionnaire survey, and were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVAs, Pearson correlations, and hierarchical regression analysis using SPSS 20. The results confirmed that current childcare plans and support from friends were factors affecting subjects' maternal-fetal attachment behaviors. The overall explanatory power of these variables for maternal-fetal attachment behaviors was 30.5%, with friend support being more influential than current childcare plans. This study suggests that prenatal care aimed at enhancing the maternal-fetal attachment of unmarried pregnant women should take childcare plans and support from friends into account.
